Notes

"William MackGehee, Sr. was possibly the son of William
MackGayhe, but this is far from certain. He was born on 1 Nov.
1672 in New Kent Co., VA. As there were 2-3 William's in this
area at about the same time, it is difficult to separate them in
existing County records. There was a William McGehee on the
Virginia Quit Rolls of New Kent Co., VA in 1704 who apparently
owned land in that portion of the county which later became part
of Hanover Co. in 1720 and who continued to live there until
1733-34.

William MackGehee was probably married to Mary [ ? ] about 1694,
but there is no proof of this marriage at this time.

On 17 Aug. 1725, William McGhee of King William Co., VA was
granted 1000 acres of land in Hanover Co. "on both sides of
Great Rockey Creek and on the south side of the North Anna
River, beginning at Capt. Marrin's, then to John Ragland's
corner near the mouth of Elm Creek and on to the north side of
Plumbtree Branch, for the sum of 5 pounds". This tract was in
that part of Hanover Co. which later became Louisa Co. on 2 June
1742, and William MackGehee's son John was living on this land
when he died in 1801.

Sometime between 1724 and 1733, William MackGehee, Sr. must have
moved to Caroline Co., VA since he registered two slaves there
in 1732-34. Since it was the policy of the Quakers to "disown"
those who held or were overseers of slaves (along with other
misdeeds such as fighting), it is not likely that this William
was the Quaker William who died in Hanover Co., VA in 1748. It
is much more likely that this William of Caroline Co., VA was
the son of William MackGayhe and brother of Thomas MackGehee.

Between 1732 and 1745, William MackGehee was recorded as having
served on four jury panels in Caroline Co.

In Dec. 1748, Roger Quarles, John Quarles and Roger Quarles, Jr.
witnessed the will of William MacGehee, and John and William
McGehee (probably his sons) served as executors. In a Caroline
Co. Court meeting held on 11 Dec. 1749, Mary McGehee and
executors of William McGehee's estate took action against John
Newton and John Robinson to recover a debt of 8 pounds, 12
shillings.

At a court meeting held for Caroline Co. on Thursday, 13 Dec
1759, the nomcupative will of Mary MaGehee was proved by the
affirmation of Henry Terrell and John Comer. It was admitted to
record and on the motion of Carr MaGehee, it was ordered that he
had administration of the said estate. In addition, Roger
Quarles, Christopher Tomkins, Robert Tomkins and Joseph Woolfolk
were appointed as appraisers of Mary MaGehee's estate.
